Erinusu

First Appearance: Kid Icarus (1986) Latest Appearance: Kid Icarus: Uprising (2012) Affiliation(s): Medusa Enemy Type: Grounded

Erinus (エリヌス Erinusu) is a cloaked, one-eyed monster encountered in the Palace in the Sky, and attacks all who enter. Being the God of Revenge, Erinus will continue to attack Pit even after being blasted apart by his Bow's Arrow of Light by having the remaining parts dash at the angel. He's tenacious enough to keep re-appearing until shot to pieces.

Characteristics

Erinus is a mysterious creature, as the cloak obscures most physical traits other than a monocular eye, fangs, and claws.

Trivia

• The Erinyes were commonly called the Furies in Greek mythology, creatures of vengeance borne from blood that actually crossed many cultural boundaries, even showing up in the Inferno. They are often depicted as winged women.
